I see the Democrats are finally beginning to understand that the key to winning is the need to frame their own message. It's about time:
"The Obama tax cuts for the middle class"
Call them "the Obama tax cuts for the middle class."
Top Democratic leaders in the House are discussing using that phrase to rebrand President Obama's proposed extension of the Bush tax cuts for those making less than $250,000, senior leadership aides tell me.
The use of the phrase has the informal support of Nancy Pelosi and Majority Whip James Clyburn, and Pelosi has used the phrase in private meetings, leadership aides tell me. Rank and file House Dems are privately discussing the phrase. Top Senate aides also like the idea.
